Mr. Pohl's taxation expertise is augmented by his Certified Public Accountant credential.

His achievements have been recognized in various media.

The book Legal Ethics in the Practice of Law, used in many law schools, features him as an example of an attorney "going the whole nine yards".

Mr. Pohl lectures on trusts and estates at accounting firms and law firms. He received his J.D. cum laude from Brooklyn Law School and a B.S. from Brooklyn College.
